Melamine faced boards, its core material can be particle board, MDF, or plywood. The melamine board is combined from the core material and surface melamine pattern. The surface pattern mainly has two types domestic and imported, with its fire-resistant, wear-resistance, and waterproof performance the melamine board always use similar to the composited wood flooring.
Melamine effect
The melamine board is actually used as interior decoration for living room, its surface is made by the pattern layer paper, which is soaked in melamine resin adhesive, then after drying laying on the surface of the core board by hot pressing. In the production process, it is generally made by combining several layers of paper, the quantities of paper depend on the usage. Generally can be divided into surface paper, decorative paper, covering paper, and bottom paper and other components if necessary.
① surface layer paper is placed on the upper layer of the decorative board and plays a role in protecting the decorative paper so that the surface of the board after heating and pressure will be highly transparent, hard, and wear-resistant. this layer requires the material to be good water absorption, white and clean, and transparent after dipping glue.
② decorative paper, that is normally wood grain paper, and it is an important part of the decorative board, with a base color or no base color raw material by printing into various patterns of decorative paper, then placed under the surface layer of paper, mainly play a decorative role, this layer requires paper with good impregnation and printing properties.
③ Covering paper, also called titanium white paper, is generally by the manufacture of light-colored decorative panels placed under the decorative paper to prevent the underlying resin from the core board surface, and to cover the color spots on the surface of the core board. Therefore, a good covering function is required. The above three papers need to soak in melamine resin.
④ The bottom layer of paper is the bottom material of the decorative board, the board plays a role in mechanical properties, is dipped in phenolic resin glue, and drying can be determined according to the use or decorative board thickness of a number of layers.
Melamine board
Applications
It is commonly used in interior design and decoration on furniture and cabinets, especially on door panels, wall surfaces, cabinet surfaces, and cabinet partition panels.
Melamine decorative board performance.
1, It can be used as a veneer of various man-made boards and woods with different patterns, high hardness, wear resistance, and good heat resistance.
2, It can resist the general acid, alkali, grease and alcohol, and other solvent corrosion.
3, The surface is smooth and clean, easy to maintain and clean.
Melamine board has better functions than natural wood, so it is often on the wall or the doors of the furniture and cabinet, but it is impossible to use melamine board as laminate flooring.
Difference
From the cost, the market for the family-used melamine board furniture is mostly in medium fiber board and particle board, the high end cabinets are used with a solid wood core for melamine board. In comparison, the performance of the solid wood core is better than the first two, it has a uniform internal structure, high bonding force, little deformation, good surface flatness, and strong nail holding performance. Therefore, the melamine board with the solid wood core as the base material is more robust and durable, and can better resist the characteristics of the panel furniture assembled. The MDF and particle board are relatively loose, with poor nail grip, but lower cost than the former.
There is also a melamine veneer press of the different steel plates, which can make the board surface effect, divided into glossy, linen surface, and expossed surface ).
Edge cracking situation
This is makes furniture appearance stronger, the printed with color or artificial wood grain paper itself is fragile, but after soaking in melamine resin the paper will be much harder, with its furniture can be without paint, the surface will form a protective layer for wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, acid and alkali resistant, hot resistant, pollution resistant.
In the selection of melamine closet, besides looking at the color and texture can check also several aspects to identify the quality: the presence of stains, scratches, indentations, porosity, color gloss uniform, bulging phenomenon, paper tear or defective phenomenon, and so on.
Environmental protection
Melamine board is light, mold resistant, fire resistant, heat resistant, shock resistant, easy to clean, and renewable. It is fully in line with the idea of energy saving and ecological protection. Except for solid wood furniture, other kinds of high-grade end furniture have used melamine board. The melamine board in the high-end closet can effectively prevent environmental pollution caused by formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde resin, and melamine board can also replace wood panels and aluminum panels on the mirror, high wear-resistant, anti-static, embossed, metal, and other finishes.
